Tue, 16 Aug 2016 14:22:49 +0000http://sites.duke.edu/adhoc_org_trinity_hhr_fellows/?p=2086#comment-43I believe that medical school training is never a waste of time , even though he has chosen not to practice in medicine. But I admit that it could be a low yield activity considering the energy and time a medical student has to spend. On the other hand, Medical school edication helps us to understand health and human body in general. FE: Preventive medicine studies habits that cause diseases or habits that protect from diseases. This education may help md traineees to live a healtier life.

You I am glad that you learnedat this young age how being a scientist feels like.

Thu, 21 Jul 2016 22:40:08 +0000http://sites.duke.edu/adhoc_org_trinity_hhr_fellows/?p=1922#comment-38I witnessed that lab monkeys master some skillsets beyond humans. For example lab monkeys could learn basic numeral calculations and could solve numeral problems faster than humans. Imagine that a pet monkey play playstation with a joystick with us in the living room 🙂

Sun, 17 Jul 2016 19:47:08 +0000http://sites.duke.edu/adhoc_org_trinity_hhr_fellows/?p=1840#comment-36I always fascinated by the fact that all these things are happening in the small eppendorf like or glass tubes simultaneously even though we see only a cloudy or transparent solution. Rarely something goes wrong and we even don’t realise before finishing the procedure.
]]>Comment on Differentiation of Ependymal Cells by Sait Hasircihttps://sites.duke.edu/adhoc_org_trinity_hhr_fellows/?p=1758#comment-35
Sun, 17 Jul 2016 19:37:01 +0000http://sites.duke.edu/adhoc_org_trinity_hhr_fellows/?p=1758#comment-35It sounds like an important project. If I am not mistaken, non-stable ependymal cells also appears in normal functioning brain and immun cells usually recognise and destroy them. But once in a while, after failed attempts of immune cells, these cells may survive and turn into ependymoma. Your study may help ependymoma patients.

Sun, 17 Jul 2016 19:27:44 +0000http://sites.duke.edu/adhoc_org_trinity_hhr_fellows/?p=1666#comment-34It was an interesting reading. May I add to the %90-%10 (Clinician vs Scientist) paradigm another perspective? A clinician provides healthcare to ~60.000-80.000 patients for an entire career. This means that a clinician could improve a limited number(small city population) of people’s health. By the way, this is a great accomplisment. On the other hand, a scientist that makes a significant contribution to science could help millions of people indirectly. But not all scientists are lucky enough to make such like contribution.
